1066,MacOSX powerpc gcc 3.3/4.0 and unknown symbol `_printf$LDBLStub',gracjan-agh.edu.pl,thorkilnaur,"There are problems with linking on MacOSX 10.4.8 when selected gcc 3.3. Following session demonstrates problem:

Linking manually with `-lSystemStubs` fixes the problem. Seems to be connected with Ticket #1018, where the solution is to only add `-lSystemStubs` when build evironment says so. Probably adding it always could be a solution.

Affected: ghc-6.6-ppc-apple-darwin.tar.gz from http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_66.html, also macports:
